No more Dykes on PlanetOut

February 24th, 2006

I just got the news that PlanetOut, currently the only source for Dykes online, is dropping the strip. I don’t know why. I assume it’s some sort of fallout from their acquisition last fall of LPI media, which has made them the “World’s Largest Gay Media Company.” I’m surprised. I thought I got pretty decent traffic.

I’ve been thinking for a while now about hosting the strip on my own site, and I guess the time has come. I’ll keep you posted as I figure out how I’m going to go about this. And I’d love to hear any suggestions anyone has, particularly about ways to cover the cost.
